Earning 4th place medals were Tyler Smith in Entertainment, Katie Polk in Serious, and Lisa Dohmen in Poetry.

Morgan Carpenter placed 5th in Humorous Prose.

Bringing home 6th place medals were Zoey Bergman and Alois Warner in Duet, Paige Nichols in Entertainment, and the OID team of Dylan Widger, Taya Voborny, and Zoey Bergman.

The coaches attribute the team’s success to a lot of hard work.

“It’s just a busy time of year, and these kids are pulled in so many directions,” said co-coaches Stacy Shumake-Henn and Jessie Reestman, “so we always appreciate the time they dedicate to practicing.”

They are also thrilled with the success, especially during this time of the season.

“It’s nice to see good things happen for good kids. They are a fun group to work with, and they enjoy competing.”
